FA Cup Semi-Final | City v Chelsea pre-match thread

[mexico1970]

Two matches away from the first part of the real double, I fancy us for this we will bring home the bacon for sure.

Our FA Cup semi-final record is dismal , we appear to scrap to get to the last four then Pep plays a weakened side at Wembley , ive been to every semi-final but i have swerved this one , its only a good day out if you win and if Pep selects a team with one eye on the Brighton game which is the sensible thing to do then i will be doing my impression of a plastic Rag & Dipper and watching from the comfort of my living room
Every credit to the lads and lasses going down there today you will probably be outnumbered but we will be loud and proud as always.

Brighton is Thursday isn't it?? Plenty of time to rest after today

Forgive my ignorance on the subject, but was there any official reasoning given for having this scheduled for today rather than tomorrow?

Rags asked first ?

My son just messaged me to say Palmer is out injured but I’ve not seen that anywhere else. Anybody know anything? Does this mean it will be Sterling who gets the winner against us?

KDB will cost Man City the FA cup. When he says he is fit he is actually half fit.

I'm sure the clubs medical staff and the advanced sports science involved today have a lot more to say about it than Kev blagging them..

Need a lift today so come on blueboys . Will really need the squad players to step up after the first team effort on wed

What time is the chavs pen so palmer can score against us , they get an outrageous amount of pens

They won’t be outnumbered.

Chelsea fans will outnumber City fans at least 60:40 simply because of their proximity to Wembley.

I think the broadcasters wanted this game in the premium slot, rather than United v Coventry.
